Little Indians

About a week before Thanksgiving, Jed came out of school dressed like a little Indian. He loved his outfit and has worn it on a near daily basis since. He decided that he and the girls should hunt animals for their "buckskin". They trooped off into the trees behind out house in search of their prey. They ended up in the driveway of a sweet older lady that lives behind us. She has 3 cats. We have had a problem with cats in our yard, and the need they have to poo on our trampoline. As they were talking to this lady, I came out to find them and see who they were talking to. Jed and Olivia told her they were hunting cats.
Jed said they were going to kill them for the skin, and Olivia said she was "going to knock their teeth out!" I don't know what the lady was thinking, but I am sure it was along the lines of how crazy my kids are and how sad it was I am going to have another one soon.

We still do not have any cat skins or teeth for our collection, but we also haven't had any unwanted carts for a while. They go cat hunting on most days. Yesterday Olivia was carrying around a bat and Jed had a toy ax. I guess they mean business.

My little hunters. They are outside and happy and busy, they can kill all the cats they want.
